Abstract

In order to increase the pumping efficiency, in an optical fibre amplifier the pump coupler (2) is produced from a fibre whose mode spot size the pump light is matched to the mode spot size of the active fibre piece (7). <??>In an alternative solution, the branch of the pump coupler (2) which is coupled to the pump light source (1), on the one hand, and is connected to the active fibre piece (7), on the other hand, consists of a fibre matched to the mode spot size of the active fibre piece (7) and the branch of the pump coupler (2) serving to connect the incoming transmission line (8) consists of a fibre corresponding to the optical fibre of the transmission line (8). <IMAGE>
